Review Summary

“I love my fans; I love how much they love me,” the country singer Chely Wright says in “Chely Wright: Wish Me Away,” a documentary about her decision to come out as a lesbian in notoriously conservative Nashville. The comment, with its intimations of narcissism and dependence on the adulation of strangers, is one of several truly heartbreaking moments in a film that, like its subject, feels torn between keeping it all together and letting it all hang out. — Jeannette Catsoulis
